Zero hour was approaching for the law-abiding gun owners of Deerfield, Illinois. The village had banned the ownership of so-called assault weapons, which in reality meant AR-15 rifles and any other firearm that carried a detachable magazine capable of holding ten or more rounds. That’s how Deerfield defined a so-called assault weapon.

On June 13, the anti-gun ordinance passed by the Chicago suburb would have gone into effect. It was essentially a gun ban, and there were no exceptions. It’s either you turn them over, move, or risk facing a $250-$1,000/ day noncompliance fee. Yeah, the AR-15 and other rifles the anti-gun Left finds scary were banned, but it also included scores of handguns. Magazines holding 15 rounds are not uncommon. Luckily, a circuit court judge blocked this law 24 hours from going into effect. And yes, legal challenges were filed against this grossly unconstitutional law (via Vice News):

A judge blocked a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines in the small town of Deerfield, Illinois, less than 24 hours before it was meant to go into effect.

The decision, handed down Tuesday evening in the 19th Judicial Circuit Court in Lake County, Illinois, is a small victory for gun rights groups, who sued the Chicago suburb in April after it became the first municipality to ban assault weapons following the Parkland high school shooting. The Deerfield ordinance was passed unanimously by all six board members on April 2.

Gun groups, including the National Rifle Association of Illinois, requested a temporary restraining order against the ban while the lawsuit proceeded.

It’s not over. A proposed ballot initiative in Oregon would force AR-15 owners to register their rifles with the state, destroy them, or surrender them to the authorities. They would also have the option to transfer them out of the state. Boulder, Colorado also passed a law banning high capacity magazines and so-called assault weapons within the city limits. The anti-gun Left is waging a war against the Second Amendment and the Constitution. It will be greatly expanded if Democrats win the 2018 midterms, so don’t forget to vote.

Force AR-15 owners to register their rifles with the state, destroy them, or surrender them to the authorities = gun privilege
People didn’t die for, and kill for privileges. They did it for their RIGHTS. And they will do so again if the need is warranted.

Elm Trees, Many Alt.Left or Euro-Whore (French Solisist Ideology) & Progressively Communist Liberals Who are Either Shady Lawyers, Tenure University Professors, Lobbyist That Did Extremely Well During the 8 Years Under Obama’s Distruction of the Country & Family Units.

Awesome!! Haha, JACKASS ! The only problem is I live in the state of Oregon, this state is so LIBERAL, They all came from California, I hope the Judge does the same thing here & vote these JACKASS’S out this election. ; ) that WYDEN IS A SCUM SUCKING VAMP, and that Kate Brown of Portland. VOTE THEM OUT!!!!!

what is amazing is not the shooting platform of the rifle but the ballistics. 55 gr. at 3100 feet/second with an energy of 1500 foot lbs. at the barrel is devastating. not the shooting platform but the bullet’s ballistics-enjoy liberals on another point of stupidity. so where was david pigg during all of this??

the judge allowed him to run, there was still one box in his former residence with his name and address so the judge declared that his legal residence even though he had been in DC for over 2 years. rham is truly an asshole and like young men
